FIGURE 1.
Hepatic STC2 expression was reduced in obese mice. (A,B) Hepatic Stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) mRNA and protein levels, determined by qRT-PCR and western blots, respectively, in ob/ob mice aged 8 weeks (n = 4–8). (C,D) Hepatic STC2 mRNA and protein levels, determined by qRT-PCR and western blots, respectively, in high fat diet (HFD) mice. The 8-week-old mice were fed normal chow diet (NCD) or a HFD for 12 weeks (n = 4–6). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. ∗∗∗P < 0.001.
